Development Land:Property Partners McCullagh is seeking over €3 million for a 9.7-acre development site in the heart of Ballinasloe, Co Galway.
While 2.5 acres of the site carries full planning permission for 20 houses, there is significant potential for further zoning. The site and house has frontage to Sarsfield Road, a wide boulevard that features some of the finest detached homes in the picturesque town. It is for sale by private treaty. The nature of Sarsfield Road dictates a high quality development.
The site carries full planning for 20 houses on the zoned 2.5-acre portion, indicative of six to 14 units per acre as a guideline. There is potential to have some further acres zoned which would follow the line of the adjacent finished development, according to the agent. The existing permission allows for the demolition of the dormer house and the construction of two fine detached houses to the front. There are three further detached, 12 semi-detached and three terraced houses planned for the rear. The agent believes there may be scope for three substantial detached houses to the front and a greater mix of units to the rear with a higher density.
There is demand in the town for a block of large apartments and this could be incorporated into the mix on this site, the agent argues.
Access to local amenities couldn't be better. The new town leisure/swimming pool complex is adjacent and the railway station is a five-minute walk.
The centre of town is a short stroll with Tesco adjacent and Portiuncula Hospital, GAA pitch/horse showgrounds and various schools all within walking distance.
